vertica_schema – Adds or removes Vertica database schema and roles.

New in version 2.0.


Synopsis

  • Adds or removes Vertica database schema and, optionally, roles with schema access privileges.
  • A schema will not be removed until all the objects have been dropped.
  • In such a situation, if the module tries to remove the schema it will fail and only remove roles created for the schema if they have no dependencies.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • unixODBC
  • pyodbc

Notes

Note

  • The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the dbadmin account on the host.
  • This module uses pyodbc, a Python ODBC database adapter. You must ensure that unixODBC and pyodbc is installed on the host and properly configured.
  • Configuring unixODBC for Vertica requires Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so to be added to the Vertica section of either /etc/odbcinst.ini or $HOME/.odbcinst.ini and both ErrorMessagesPath = /opt/vertica/lib64 and DriverManagerEncoding = UTF-16 to be added to the Driver section of either /etc/vertica.ini or $HOME/.vertica.ini.
